I’m in the midst of studying for comps in public law. Any bets on how many times I’ll write “pubic law”? Which I suppose is ironic since a lot of my research has to do with birth politics, labor, and delivery.

So far, I’ve managed to read several of the books and articles, but there’s a lot to go. Protip: I organized them into stacks of 3 or four books, at least one from each of the three areas (for me: judicial politics/process/policy, law and society, and constitutional law). Then I lumped them by theme. I figure this will help me connect them to each other during the exam.
